Stella and I flew back to Nebraska on Aug. 29th so I could attend my sister Cory's wedding. Michi stayed home with Sebastian because, unfortunately, he cannot fly at the moment. He has to stay in Vienna for doctor's appointments, and anyway, the re-circulated airplane air is full of germs. Michi's mom (Oma) was very nice and took off a week to come stay in Vienna and watch Sebastian while I was gone - without her, it would not have been possible for me to go - so thank you very much, Theresia!
The wedding was great! And to see family again, that is always awesome - once a year is too little, but that's the price you pay for living so far away. Unfortunately I don't have any pictures of the actual wedding ceremony or party because I got lazy and didn't take any - I am waiting for Cory to send the pics from the photographer there. I was too busy talking to people and doing the YMCA on the dance floor. And drinking a few beers to forget about the awful poodle hairdo I ended up with from the hairdresser - note: next time do the hair myself!

Stella and cousin Maggie in their wedding dresses that Grandma made.


Slumber party the night before the wedding - I know my sisters will hate me for posting these pictures, but sorry girls. We set the timer on the camera for this one - it didn't really turn out.

This one turned out much better.

The Farmer's Market is held on Saturday in the Haymarket area.

The Downtown Haymarket area in Lincoln, where the wedding was held.

Tailgating before on Husker game day (Saturday, first football game of the season).

Grandpa (a.k.a. Pan-ga), Stella and her cousin Maggie.

Grandma and Stella in the pool - the water was too cold and she started to cry about 2 seconds after this picture was taken.

Probably Nebraska's only five-lane street.

Stella and Aunt Jessie.

Me and Stella.
Stella puts everything in her mouth - including Pan-Ga's visor!
Once I get the rest of the pics from Cory, Jenith and Jessie at home, I will post some. Send 'em on, girls!
